Overview

Guidekin summary

A private Blue Badge guide and guaranteed skip the line entry through the Museums, the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's, with a cheaper version that leaves the Basilica out. Fees and taxes are included at €355 per person, pickup and tips are not. Partial closures inside the Museums are not refunded, only a full closure is.

From the guide

• Skip the long lines at the main sites of the Vatican City.
• Marvel at masterpieces of art in some of the 1,400 rooms of the Vatican Museums.
• See Michelangelo's famous "Creation of Adam" fresco in the Sistine Chapel.
• Admire the vaults, domes and art works of St. Peter's Basilica.
Please note that St. Peter's Basilica is an active parish and is therefore subject to unforeseen closures for spiritual celebrations. In such cases we will, if possible, contact you in advance with an alternative tour time or itinerary. If this is not possible you will receive an extended tour inside the Museums.
